In most cases, authorities do not disclose the exact reasons behind the raids.

In California, however, officials did offer up an explanation. The dispensaries allegedly sold cannabis to customers who showed California IDs with an address in the state, “when they in fact lived in Arizona.” Authorities also claimed the owners of some of these dispensaries made false claims of residency and therefore are not authorized to operate an MMJ business in the state.

The first claim is somewhat questionable. Requiring owners to thoroughly vet every ID to ensure it’s legit is unreasonable, though perhaps these were obviously fake.

The other claim is more understandable. If it’s true that the owners are not California residents, then the authorities should be applauded for ridding the industry of some bad players.
